About this property

Lake View, a welcoming ground-floor apartment resting in Bowness-On-Windermere, Cumbria. Set in the heart of the Lake District National Park, this abode is perfect for families or friends, boasting lake vistas and a football table. Drive up the hill and park the car outside your ground-floor apartment. Step onto the tiled floor of the contemporary and well-equipped kitchen. Whip up a feast on the wooden countertops, fire up the gas hob, or bake something delicious in the oven. Once plates are dished, head to the living/ dining room and pull out a chair from the glass table set for four. Why not crack open the balcony doors to let fresh air flow through this space? The dining area is pleasant with charming decor adorning the walls.

Pop the plates in the dishwasher after dinner has digested, then sink into the royal blue sofa as you flick on the TV for entertainment. If you're feeling competitive, challenge your friends to a game on the football table, or step out onto the balcony to discuss the plans ahead with the stunning views of the landscape over Bowness and Lake Windermere inspiring you.
